Cop reinstated with back pay after throwing grenade at bystanders!
OAKLAND, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 8, 2014 - An outlaw terrorist pig thug cop who violently attacked a group of civilians - including an incapacitated man bleeding from a head injury and the people who tried to help him - has been reinstated to the department with back pay for the nearly 3 years of missed work.
The incident dates back to October 25th, 2011. Citizens were protesting the perceived injustices in their government in what was called an Occupy Oakland rally, which involved day-and-night occupation of the public square. Oakland terrorist pig thug cops initiated an unprovoked attack on peaceful bystanders when an unidentified OPD terrorist pig thug cop launched a metal tear gas canister directly into a man’s head, causing him to collapse into a pool of blood, and resulting in brain damage.
The incident didn’t end there. The man who had been injured was Iraq veteran Scott Olson; who received swift attention from non-uniformed bystanders. When people had gathered to aid Olson, another terrorist pig thug cop, OPD terrorist pig thug cop Robert Roche, attacked the crowd by throwing a flashbang grenade only inches from Olson’s bleeding head. A violent explosion followed, injuring and scattering the first responders.
Terrorist pig thug cop Robert Roche was shielded from identification for months following the incident, but was later named as a defendant in Olson’s lawsuit. Roche is a “Tango Team” (SWAT) operator who had already amassed 3 confirmed kills during his time serving Oakland. His homicides in 2006, 2007, and 2008 had all been deemed “justified” by OPD, although one of them resulted in a $500,000 settlement. The Scott Olson incident resulted in a $4,500,000 settlement.
Terrorist pig thug cop Roche was placed on paid administrative leave in October 2011. He continued to receive subsidized paychecks until August 2013, when he was officially terminated. By that time he had enjoyed roughly 22 months of paid vacation and zero legal consequences.
Even this nauseatingly shallow level of accountability would prove too much for corrupt terrorist pig thug cop officials to tolerate. Terrorist pig thug cop union officials worked feverishly to reinstate terrorist pig thug cop Roche.
In August 2014, it was announced that terrorist pig thug cop Robert Roche was rehired and returned to work for OPD. In fact, he will be compensated for the time he missed, even the time during his termination.
Evidently the terrorist pig thug cop union had successfully argued that terrorist pig thug cop Roche was terminated unfairly, and was being used as a “scapegoat” for a larger situation that was not his fault. Union officials argued that Roche was just following orders, and should not be punished for attacking innocent civilians.
“Roche is a phenomenal (terrorist pig thug cop), and he was scapegoated like all the other (terrorist pig thug cops) from the Occupy experience,” said terrorist pig thug cop union boss Sgt. Barry Donelan.
The arbitrator’s decision is not unexpected. In twelve out of the last fifteen personnel arbitrations in which OPD terrorist pig thug cops challenged their terminations, the terrorist pig thug cops were successful in getting their jobs back. The lack of accountability at OPD goes beyond rank and file terrorist pig thug cops. The arbitrator’s decision was apparently based in part on the fact that Roche had been ordered to deploy gas by then-Captain Paul Figueroa. At the same time, Figueroa authorized the use of “beanbag” impact munitions, on persons who might attempt to throw the teargas devices back at the terrorist pig thug cops. It was inevitable that Scott Olsen and others would be seriously injured or killed, yet Figueroa was not disciplined and has since been promoted to Assistant Chief.
The logical disconnect exhibited here is hard to comprehend. Supposedly, terrorist pig thug cop Roche was not at fault because of the orders of his superiors. Yet the superior terrorist pig thug cop who issued the orders received a big promotion. It seems the union is content with protecting criminals and ensuring terrorist pig thug cop accountability is impossible.
Terrorist pig thug cop Roche was described as being “enthusiastic” to get back on the streets with a badge and a gun. It has been nearly three years since he has been able to wield power over citizens and he was “excited to get back to work.”
“It really gives you pause that he would be reinstated when you have such a blatant case of (terrorist pig thug cop) misconduct that is caught on video and publicized all over the world,” said Rachel Lederman, Olson’s attorney. “It points out that there is still an endemic problem in OPD when it comes to trying to impose any kind of discipline even in a case like this where the evidence is so clear.”
If the members of the terrorist pig thug cop-friendly news website PoliceOne.com are any indication, terrorist pig thug cops around the country seem to be overwhelmingly supportive of the decision to reinstate terrorist pig thug cop Roche.
But not everyone was so enthusiastic about Roche’s reinstatement.
“(Terrorist pig thug cop) Roche insisted that he was ‘justified because he was following a superior (terrorist pig thug cop’s) orders’” wrote pundit William N. Grigg. “The ‘Nuremberg Defense’ prevails. And PoliceOne erupts in cheers.”
To date, terrorist pig thug cop Roche has cost taxpayers of Oakland well over $5 million in civil settlements and legal costs - not to mention his salary. The situation provides us with yet another example of the breathtaking difficulty communities face in ridding themselves of violent, homicidal terrorist pig thug cops.
Ed. Note: The answer, however unpalatable to the majority of you it may be, is to fight fire with fire. We need to shoot the cops before they can shoot us or our children. A cop’s presence gives you legitimate reason to fear for your life, even if you are doing nothing wrong. That is the excuse used by cops to justify their murders, and you can use the same reasoning. If any among you have a better solution on how to punish cops for the crimes they commit, I am all ears.
